Although many of the

Catarrh

May affect any portion of the body where the mu-
cous membrane is found. But catarrh of the head
S by far the most common, and, strange to say,
the most liable to be neglected. 1t originates in
a cold, or succession of colds, combined with i'm
pure blood. The wonderful success Hoods Sar-
sapara has had in curing catarrh warrants us in
urging all who suffer with this disease to try the
peculiar medicine. 1t renoyates and mvgorates
the blood and tones every organ.

Common Myths.

Ignorant folk, wonder-mongers and
even scientific observers have dissem-
mated many and exaggera-
icated. We are still told, for instance,
of the Norwegian maelstrom, a fright
full whirling chasm in the sea capable
of sucking down the largest ships,
though in reality this fearful "whirl-
pool" is simply o run of the tide
through q sloping channel, is rarely
dangerous, and then Chiefly OF account
of the rocks on which it may draw YES
sells. Sir John Herschel gave his in
dorsement to the statement that stars
may be seen in the daytime from the
bottom of a we'll, hut this has been
proven to be an error by tests from O
shaft nearly half Il mi e deep. Mr..
John Murdoch has recently shown that
the Eskimos do not, as textbooks of
physiology affirm, dozo @tHough their
long winter nights, keeping up their
bodily heat by enormous meals of raw
blubber and lamp-oi], but that their
winter life is active, their food mostly
cooked and their consumption of oil
not excessive. A still widely accepted
belief is that the hair-snako is q won
derful transformation of IL horses hair
when kept in water, though these odd
Creatures (known tos 'icnce as Gordius
aluaticus) really grow from eggs, and
in early stages inhabit the bodies of
insects. A very old idea, without
foundation in fact, is that crocodiles
shed mournful tears, while stories of
toads imprisoned in solid rock are nu-
merous and supported by much evil
dence, but have probably resulted
from imperfect observation. Accounts
of the termination of grain from the
mummy-pits OF Egypt have arisen from
deception practiced by the Arabs in
placing fresh seeds with the belong
ings Of the mummies. Though now
known to be incorrect, the inference
that the moon influences the weather
is q very natural one to unframed OBJ
servers, and is far less absurd than q
thousand vagar:es that gain credence,
such as the dropping of live reptiles
from the clouds, the election of live
snakes and other creatures from the
human stomach, the l~ocalization of
water by a forked stick, the extin-
guishment of fire by sunshine, ETC.

American and English Beauty.

question of relative English aud Ameri-
can beauty it is plain that the manifest

in many cases for reference, VIC have
compiled q table of the largest cities
of the world, with their populations
as stated by the latest authorities. in

as On approximation only. We have

below SOC, coo, though there are many
we could enumerate wlSch closely up

FOR THE HOU
To Pres erve Eggs for Winter.

A New York correspondent of Prairie
Farmer gives the following directions:
Stake half a peck of lime and add 10
gallons water. Stir well, and after a
day or SO, pour off the clear liquid and
fill the tirkins or crooks to be used for
packing. Place the eggs in layers, the
small end downward, filling the vessels
to within one and one-half inches of the
top. Lay a thick cloth over the whole
and over thtsya closc-fitting v Keep
them in O cool place.
"John's Wife," of Missouri, says:
Greasing the eggs to exclude the air,
and then packing in common salt, is q
good way to preserve them. / find that
by setting the round oval eggs, the
majority of chicks are pullets. l have

Recipes.

SUGAR CooKIEs.-One cup butter, two
cups of sugar and three eggs. Flour
enough to make q soft dough; flavor
with cinnamon or nutmeg and bake in a
moderate oven.
LEMON MARMALADE-Take lemons,
peel and extract the seed. Boil the
lemons until soft, add the juice and
pulp with a pound of sugar to a pound
of lemon. Boil to thicken.
SALLY LUNN,-This is good for both
breakfast and tea. A pint of sweet milk,
two eggs, butter the size of an egg, two
tablespoonfuls sugar, two t%easpoonfuls
baking powder, a t%easpoonful salt, and
enough flour to make a stiff batter. Mix
all we'll together and bake in q buttered
pan in a quick oven. Use hot.
' CINNAMON BUNS. When making
bread reserve a quart of the dough, and
work we'll into it a t~cacupful sugar and
half a teacupful butter. Roll out half
an inch thick, and cut into long, narrow
biscuits, spread them thickly with sugar
and cinnamon, let them rise until light,
and bake in a quick. oven.
EGG BALLS FOR SoUP.-Thcy are made
by first boiling 4 eggs hard; when cold,
rub the yolks fine and mix with them
the yolk of a raw egg, and one teaspoon
full flour. Add pepper and salt to the
taste and a little finely-chopped parsley.
Form into little balls, and boil two min
utcs in water. They are then ready to
put at once into the tureen with the
soup.
MINCED Ham AND EGGs.--A nice way
to use up remnants of cold boiled ham is
to mince it, and to half a pound of ham
melt a tablespoonful butter in a frying
pan, add the ham and a little hot water,
let it heat up quickly, then spread it on
buttercd toast, and on each piece lay a
poached egg. Quite a dainty breakfast
CAN illus Dc IlduC from WIldG at uTSG
thought might mlghtS seem yesy uu-
promising.
Squash BIsCUIT-Dissolve half a cake
of compressed yeast in half q cupful of
cold water. Mix it together with acup-
full aud a half of sifted squash, half a
cupful of sugar, one cupful. of milk, four
tablespoonfuls of butter and half q tea
spoonful of salt; then stir the whole
into five cupfuls of flour, knead il. we'll
and let it rise over night. In the morn
ing make into biscuits. Let them rise
an hour and a half and bake half an
hour.
SALAD Dressing. Take the yolks of
2 eggs, a t~easpoonful of mustard, a salt
spoonful of salt, a pinch of cayenne, and
a tablespoonful of sugar. Beat these
we'll together with a small egg-beater,
until they are perfectly smooth; then
add, drop by drop, half a teacupful
olive oil, stirring briskly all the time, or
until a firm, compact mass results. Now
add 8 tablespoonfuls vinegar, and when
that is well incorporated with it a tea
spoonful of lemon juice. This dressing
is nice for potato salad, chicken and
lobster salads, etc. .
